Alright, fellow commanders of Warhammer: The Old World, saddle up your finest Bretonnian Warhorses because it’s time for a rules update! We’ve got a closer look at army selection, and trust me, it’s the real deal.
Building Your Army Forget the field full of skeletons – we’re diving into the nitty-gritty of army building. Points, my friends, that’s the name of the game. No recommended values – just grab a General and three Units, and you’re good to go. But, for an epic two-to-three-hour showdown with 100 or more models, aim for 2,000 points per side.
Grand Army Goodness Each faction is packing a Grand Army, a smorgasbord of options to spice up your forces. Let’s take Bretonnia, for example. Hold your horses – you can’t overload on powerful wizards and heroes, but Paladins, Damsels, and Sergeants at Arms are fair game. And who wouldn’t want a Paladin for that sweet free Battle Standard Bearer upgrade?
Duke Duels and Weapon Menus Time to check out the Dukes, the big shots on the battlefield. These guys are no slouches – mighty warriors with a penchant for combat. Choose your weapon wisely – morning star, great weapon, lance, or shield, each with its own perks. And yes, mounts are back, baby! Your Duke can ride a Hippogryph – a fierce, independent beast that packs a serious punch.
Men-At-Arms and Grail Monks On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Men-At-Arms. Not the bravest or most chivalrous, but hey, they’re cheap. Now, the Grail Monk is a game-changer – a second champion with the Blessed Triptych, making your unit stubborn and capable of strategic retreats. Talk about turning the tide!
Armies of Infamy But wait, there’s more! Armies of Infamy add a whole new layer of madness to force selection. Want to go into exile or lead an Errantry Crusade? The choices are wild, my friends.
Get ready to unleash your tactical genius on the tabletop, and remember, no Almanack next Monday – it’s Christmas! But on the 26th, we’ve got something special coming your way. Warhammer holiday cheer, here we come!
